Whether perched atop your camera or sitting on a tripod, the Vidpro XM-48 ultralightweight camera-mount shotgun microphone lets you upgrade your sound without weighing you down. Plus, it includes detachable 3.5mm TRS and TRRS cables for compatible hookup to smartphones, tablets, and computers as well as traditional cameras and portable audio recorders.

Unlike the omnidirectional mics built into most cameras and mobile devices, the XM-48's supercardioid polar pattern delivers focused frontal pickup with less ambient noise. Since it has no controls and runs on plug-in power, the XM-48 provides truly simple, plug-and-play operation for reliable recording, especially when you're in a hurry.
